The Washington Post reports that Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Craig Fugate has sort of broken his historic one-day silence regarding Ron Paul’s harsh words about FEMA at Wednesday’s G.O.P. debate. “I’m too busy working on other stuff,” Fugate told a reporter who asked about Paul’s desire for the abolition of FEMA. “Ask that to somebody who would give you the time and day to answer that.”

“As you know, I have strict ideas about fishcal policy,” he said, smiling as if he had a mouth that even functioned to indicate emotion. Hilarious—but also serious, and worthy of the full attention of the press.
